Azure Networking and Linux VM using Terraform

This project uses Terraform to provision Azure infrastructure including:

• Resource Group
• Virtual Network (VNet)
• Subnet
• Network Security Group (NSG) with SSH access
• Public IP
• Network Interface (NIC)
• Ubuntu Linux Virtual Machine
• Remote Terraform state stored in Azure Blob Storage

The infrastructure is created using the AzureRM provider and follows Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices.

🧱 Architecture

Resources created by this project:

• Azure Resource Group
• Virtual Network (10.0.0.0/16)
• Subnet (10.0.2.0/24)
• Network Security Group (allows SSH on port 22)
• Public IP (Static)
• Network Interface
• Linux VM (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS)
• SSH public key is stored in Azure (best practice is to use Azure AD login or store SSH keys in a centralized service such as Key Vault)

Note: Terraform state is stored remotely in Azure Blob Storage using an Azure backend configuration.

⚙️ Prerequisites

• Azure Subscription
• Terraform v1.x installed
• Azure CLI installed and logged in
• SSH key pair (RSA) generated
• Azure Storage Account for remote backend

🔐 Backend Configuration (Remote State)

Terraform state is stored in Azure Blob Storage.

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    storage_account_name = "Add your blob storage account name here"
    container_name       = "Add container name here" 
    key                  = "terraform.tfstate"
    access_key           = "Add your storage account access key here"
  }
}
